Crazy tourist skier/snowborders. Gaper are named for the gap between the helmet/hat and goggles. Also because they are gay, in the loser way not the homosexual way. They usually think they are the shit, although it is not true. At all. They are usually found it Colorado, Summit County to be exact. They try to do DBs or rock the park, but they fail.

in context away from the slope a gaper is someone who tries extremely hard to be popular but does this all in vein because they are too clueless. Commonly found in high school settings

a gaper can be commonly identified by being outside a circle of people trying to look in or listen into a convo. They commonly buy north face backpacks because they think its cool or they wear uggs and jeans like oh every girl. and guy who is a gaper will strut slow down the hall trying to look cool and there backpakc is overly stuffed with crap. ex: conner plasse

a fucking fag that knows nothing about skiing and cant ski at all and are total posers that wear all the top brands and go in the park and cut everyone off and fall of the handle tow. Gapers usually take it in the ass everynight and stand on the landing of the jump pissing everyone off or rolls over the jumps and attempts to hit rails but falls and doesnt know how to put their skis back on....Fucking Gapers
